Slipknot's Taylor to speak at Oxford

The singer admits he was stunned when school officials approached him about the gig because he's not the most scholarly of stars.

He says, "I've been asked to speak at Oxford University, which is very ironic seeing as I didn't graduate from high school.

"They took a vote about who they would want to speak at their student union and I was the number one pick, apparently, so I was like, 'Yeah, OK, let's do this.' I'm probably going to swear and sweat a lot."
